dhb Aeron: Proven Performance you can rely on.

Five years since we launched our award-winning Aeron Pro Bib shorts, 2016 brings an all-encompassing evolution of the Aeron Collection, now expanded to an extensive range to keep you comfortable whatever the conditions. High performance fabrics, supreme fit and a keen attention to detail: your new wardrobe staple.

When rain won't stop you

If it's definitely looking like rain but you know you'll be riding no matter what then the Aeron Rain Defence Tights are designed just for you.

Waterproof Fabric Using a mid-weight waterproof fabric dhb have created tights that keep out the elements for use on your high tempo rides or in very changeable weather. The mid weight fabric isn't so heavy as to make you overheat and feel uncomfortable even at higher intensities. Minimal seams results in less areas for water to seep in.

High Breathability dhb's designers have used a fabric with excellent breathability allowing you to push the pace without feeling damp and uncomfortable. A mesh back panel aids ventilation and breathability still further

The combination of rain protection and breathability make these tights the ideal choice for hard and high intensity training sessions in the rain where you need some protection to keep powering through.

CyTech Elastic Interface Comp HP Seatpad

Thermomoulded pad with a minimalist and flat design

One of the most successful Elastic Interface® cycling pads ideal for very long distance rides

Revolutionary fabric offering excellent temperature control and breathability thanks to the combination between soft polyamide and quick drying polyester threads

In-lay construction with a 60k g/m3 density foam frame which allows for a soft transition from the highly protective 120k g/m3 central foam insert to the 2mm padded wings

About Cycling Tights

Winter cycling tights, also known as 'longs' are the best way to keep your leg muscles warm when the weather turns cold. Fleecy backed fabrics are comfortable next to your skin and help retain warmth, even when they're wet. Look for double-layer knees to keep your joints protected. Calf-length tights, also known as 'knickers' are great for days when it's not too cold but you want to keep your knees warm.

Self defeatingA strange type of rubbery fabric is used to make these tights. Very snug fit. Wearing them results in a very sweaty ride so you will still end up damp. Water also gets in through the seat pad stitching from rear wheel spray. A set of decent mudguards is a much better investment.

A good idea but doesn't really workI bought these tights for a 45 min commute to work in the New Zealand winter and the odd wet Sunday bunch ride.
I was expecting a similar fabric to a Nanoflex treated roubaix but these are a completely different concept with a thin membrane material. It is very waterproof but doesn't breath were well at all. The seams are flat lock stitched so they let some water in around the chamois.
In use the tights are not very comfortable, not completely waterproof and not breathable. The material is not as stretchy as a roubaix fabric so the fit is a bit limited. The seam behind the knee is irritating.
Making tights out of a waterproof material sounds like a great idea but in practice these aren't that great.

Excellent pair of bib tightsI highly recommend the dhb Aeron Rain Defence Bib Tight.
The fit is perfect for long rides (100+kms) and just for everyday cold weather conditions.
dhb you have done it again!

Sizing question

Hi, have shorts, tights, tops and arm warmers from dhb, all in small. I'm happy with the fit of these, except for the rain defence arm warmers which I find tight, but wearable. My question is should I get small or a medium in the rain defence tights. Thanks Graeme

Asked by: Gmwest

We would recommend the size you wear in other dhb garments. That should offer the right fit for you.

Any advice or info on the weight and warmth of the fabric?

Asked by: PlasterersRadio

Unfortunately the weight and isolation reading has not been provided but these tights are mainly designed for Spring when you have those windy days which a chance of rain.
